Live in Care

What is Live in Care?

Our live in care service can support you in a way you need it to, including:

Personal care

Including bathing, toileting, changing clothes and self-care, all with dignity and discretion.

Companionship

As a helping hand, a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on; you’ve got a friend in us.

Household chores

Including laundry, dusting and running the vacuum around for a fresh and cosy home.

Going out and about

We understand your life extends beyond your home, so we’ll support you there, too.

Dietary needs

Including planning and preparing nutritious meals to ensure your dietary needs are being met.

Complex care

Nurse-supported care for more intricate care needs, such as cathether and stoma management.

Are live in care and 24-hour care the same?

Live-in care can include 24-hour care if you require round-the-clock support for more advanced clinical needs.

You can also opt for live-in care if you need regular support for some ailments, but don’t need constant care. There could be a variety of different reasons why someone may need 24-hour care. Here are some examples:

Advanced dementia

If they have advanced dementia and are unable to be left alone

Physical disability

If someone has severe physical needs and requires constant aid

Palliative care

If an individual is in their final days and are receiving palliative care.

With 24-hour care, there will usually be one main live-in carer who lives with you full-time and other carers who may support you overnight or during the day when your regular carer is taking a break or needs assistance with moving and handling duties.
